73 Honda CB750 Part 25 - Engine Install

[@redshiftrudee]

Your channel is great, man! I began my first motorcycle build on a 1982 cb750f a few months ago and your guidance and advice has be indispensable. Thanks!

[@benclower10]

Your videos have all been invaluable to me! Without them, I would have totally given up on my own restoration project ('77 CB750A). Thanks!

[@chriswitz3949]

Such a great series...has been/will be helpful for people for years to come. Really appreciate you posting...keep it up!

[@brianjohns9249]

Having done this a month ago on a 72 cb750, I think you took the hard option, I laid it on the side, bolted the engine in and stood it up by myself, surprising how balanced it all was

[@mrskittle132]

Hey I'm 16 and I've got a hobby of rebuilding old bikes and you where my inspiration for that and my go to video guy when I mess up. keep putting out some great content!

[@josephdgleason]

This entire series is great! I am working on a '76 CB750F and these are really informative.

[@Francey4782]

Spotted them! It was where I thought I saw them earlier before the cam was in ! Awesome!

[@themistoklesv]

For better, for worst, for engine lifting...great vid as always. Nice to see Mrs Hackaweek on camera

[@DeanSegovis]

***** Haha!

[@jaxcabbie1]

Just dropped my new engine in its an 750 bored 60 over so its an 810. But we did it differently. 2 patio bricks, 1floor jack and two men on both sides one on the left one on the right and got it way quicker then making a jig to put it in place. Just finishing up carbs, hoping to be on the road this weekend .Nice bike, clean motor. Thanks for the vids.

[@Ewan.f15]

Perfect video for a sunny saturday morning with a coffee here in the UK

[@ncroft1383]

+1 to that!

[@dazcapri7004]

ncroft1383 +2

[@popdufc4139]

Or sunny afternoon with chilled wine..UK

[@kylelougnot]

Way to go Dino! Glad your one of us. Much better than robots. Now fire in the hole!

[@spyder1650]

I really enjoyed your videos ( I binged - found then when I was looking on how to do fiberglass on a corvette), I have learned a number of items. I'm always surprised by the know it alls - "Oh you need a better camera, Oh you need to do this, Oh you need to do that" Reminds me of arm chair quarterbacks on Monday morning - I like to call them ID10Ts. Love your cats - my cats are the same way - want to be around while you are doing something. Shamus reminds me of a cat that my daughter had - Peach Stripes - looked a lot like Shamus except for the weight. anyway, I look forward to the videos and the outcome.

[@krabkrabkrab]

Believe it or not, I've done this by myself. Twice. And I'm a fairly wimpy guy. I maneuver it close as I can with a floor jack, then lean over with my chest on the frame and grab either side of engine, round near the crankshaft, lift and wiggle it in.

[@rudyvk]

Good to see someone try this another way. However, now I get why a lot of people are like: I will just drop it on its side and put the engine in that way. Nice to have the engine in!

[@jenny666barnish]

Brilliant! Well done, if I'm not mistaken I'm sure I heard a Star Trek noise!

[@DeanSegovis]

jenny666barnish Well done! It was indeed the transporter sound from the original series. It's the notification sound on my cell phone. The ring tone is the sound from the bridge scanner. I found them on this website: www.trekcore.com/audio/ I had to download the sound, edit it, then upload it to my phone. :)

[@TheJDenz]

Genius!!! I am busy with a 1976 and your videos are tremendous help. Please make one about the wire harness and all electrics. Thank you

[@djantix1200]

This was the part I really wanted to see! NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Build Sir!

[@mikerieck306]

If you leave the breather cover off it gives you more room to install the engine. Install it before you bolt the engine in place as 1 of the long screws in close to an upper frame rail. You can also grind the upper "ears" on the front, lower engine mounts. My wife hasn't helped me put in a CB750 engine BUT she has helped me install an FJ1200 and CBR 600F3 engine

[@mavdog87]

Getting closer and closer. I nice addition to the bike when it gets closer is a "Gripace" pushbuttons, it would clean up the handlebars a lot, looking into installing it myself.

[@DarthPeachy]

Well it wasn't conventional Dino, but any one who comes here looking for conventional is on the wrong channel :) Good job!

[@muh1h1]

saw misses hackaweek wear her ring you made for her :) happy to see that :)

[@imjustjim4030]

Used a very simlilar rig without the Ts on the end AND had to bust out my sawzall to cut the same nub off! D'OH! Worked great though - an hour to build and rig the jig and 15 minuites for my wife and i to wriggle it out. THANKS.

[@HackaweekTV]

Nice work!

[@jman2343]

It worked! Painters tape on the frame can help protect it. I've also have put engines on their side and lower the frame onto it that way.

jman2343 think I may use that laying on its side methods as I have v twine and painted frame

[@robec62]

Brilliant again. Clear confidence building demo. Thank you.

[@techbill2900]

that brings back memories of 40 years ago. I had a dolly I made that I would roll up to the frame and I would lift the engine in myself. I miss my Honda 750. I had several including a 1969 that someone took apart then lost interest. The good old days of big bore kits 836cc Mikuni 26mm smooth bore. I actually remember when there was nothing close to one liter. No Kawasaki 900, you wanted a one liter bike you had to make it...ha ha ha ha

[@jsandidge1]

I'm going to try that! I have an 82 GS850L that I'm restoring. The motor should be going in in a few weeks.

[@robertomalatesta6604]

jsandidge1 Shure the guys at the GSR will help.... :--) Dean your exposition has some kind of rhythm that makes for a pleasant view.

[@rosswarby2430]

Great little engine mount should pattern it and make millions lol great videos every week cant wait to see the end result then the next project perhaps another bike or maybe a pulse jet build something like that

[@GTsGarage]

Couldn't of uploaded this at a better time, I will be putting the engine back in the project bike this weekend or the one after.. Cheers for the tips

[@skycarl]

Well Dino, seems Mrs. S knows her stuff, especially in observation. Thanks Carl

[@DeanSegovis]

skycarl She's pretty sharp!

[@statingthe_obvious6309]

***** women know where and when to cut corners :D

[@MrSTOUT73]

Nice job!! I had a '76, best bike I ever owned.

[@wildbillybones]

You are a friggin genius dude. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Thanx. -Bill

[@Mr_CMH]

Thanks buddy. Struggling with the same job on my KZ750 E1. Your ideas could be a big help. Also trying to keep a video re order on my channel.

[@ChrisHutson76]

Love your work, I'm learning a lot. Excellent idea with the wooden engine lifter! I had a thought though...perhaps it would have been easier to use the jacks on either side of the wooden handles(while it's already passed thru the frame) to raise the engine just a touch higher than the frame and leave it stationary. Then you could maneuver the frame itself to where the engine is mountable. Leave the heavy lifting to the jacks. Works out in my head, not sure about in reality though. Keep em coming!

[@Francey4782]

I've seen plenty of these engines on TV etc, but I musta forgotten where.....Where do the spark- plugs go ? : ) Sure I'll find out soon enough. Downside to these videos is I can't stop watching them!

[@StanleyKubick1]

congrats on having the engine in

[@speedyboolooks]

Great stuff! Vids can't come quick enough. Wish I had the skills😆

[@bryankniss7989]

hey just want to great channel and for the inspiration and some knowledge to start my '82 Cb900 rebuild.... Keep up the great work!

[@gospeldarren]

great series!--are we going beyond this episode?,been waiting a while for more!!

[@TheNesto73]

You have excellent taste in tires sir! :-)

[@RonanCantwell]

Nicely done Sir.

[@stephenward8550]

I was wondering if the oil filter was going to magically disappear...lol. Iv'e always lifted engines in myself. It's lookin good mate!

[@2ride_along]

Really easy to put the engine on the ground and come with frame over....

[@dinomejia9224]

gracias por compartir,, ha sido un gran aprendisaje,, LARGA VIDA A LAS HONDAS!!!

[@HackaweekTV]

Gracias!

[@chadkilgore2275]

Fantastic Job Sir!

[@barryt3759]

Glad to see the motor in there finally... are you going to do more?

[@mohuckmedshishkeblob1712]

I put the frame on the ground, leg each side and lifted the engine in by myself, easy.

[@taxijackmusic]

Wow well done. going to use this method for my 78 Super Sport

[@HackaweekTV]

It's in there!

[@627631]

I used your install idea, fantastic!!! it went in so easy thanks alot

[@Garagerat.]

Wooow thats a tight fit....wud be total pain in the BUTT to try to install it alone.

[@Mattwest1985]

You make it look easy

[@Telabib-q2d]

Nice job, neat and tidy.

[@jsandidge1]

Hi Dean. The guys at GSR were a little skeptical of this method, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Easy as pie. The motor was in after just a few minutes. Thanks so much for this useful hack. When are you going to be back on the CB 750?

[@toddrocks]

I feel like your biggest battle is the same as mine. I always seem to have 10 or so projects going on at the same time. Hah

[@ChewbacaTW]

Great job Dino!

[@NonciclopediaForEver]

If I'm allowed the curiosity, how ol... ahem, how young are Mr. Hackaweek and his lovely spouse?

[@DeanSegovis]

NonciclopediaForEver I was born in 1959. Mrs. Hackaweek was born later...

[@pocoapoco2]

It's a good thing that it's not a little bit later 750f model or you would have had to do a lot of editing to remove the cussing while trying to get the motor in.

[@rickbell8197]

You did that the hardest way

[@aussiedanman]

Hi Dino , I noticed that in this video & the following one, you didn't go through the torque settings for the engine mount bolts. Can you cover that here, or maybe on an Ask Dino #3?

[@lateralpathways1]

your helper seems nice. my helper yells...a lot.

[@TheMafroMc]

Yay! Thanks for the new vid! :)

[@allanmaureenmacintyre4474]

Much as I appreciate the videos, frame over engine is waaaay easier. An idiot can do it without a jig. I know I've done it and without help.

[@jamiestanley8774]

Is that join in the frame factory on all 750/4

[@SuperGeorgieporgie1]

U ever gonna get your cb 750 running? haven't seen anything recent for the cb 750.

[@johnbirch9800]

Not certain you will get this message? But wanted to know if you could send me a link for the oil pressure gauge you fitted.

[@HackaweekTV]

Not sure where I bought that one but just search Amazon or Google for "1/8 npt oil pressure gauge"

[@florianberger25]

Im waiting for the new part :) Are you going to make a cafe racer or do you want a original bike ?

[@utahbones3094]

Great job!!!!

[@serdvd6]

It seems it would have been easier to just lift the engine into the frame with out that wood contraption

[@benjaminraymond7733]

+serdvd6 do you know how hevy those things are?

[@robertbrandywine]

What's the purpose of the removable center section of the cam cover?

[@harryw9598]

good job, high five is nice, but no kiss?

[@EchimGeorge]

Good job !!!

[@embeddedusystems]

cool cat!

[@Visigoth_]

Sweet! been waiting >.

[@roadsterman]

Cam chain breather box must be off. It caused your problems.

[@roadsterman]

I also liked the engine lifting fixture.

[@vitaminwaterdaisuki]

are you sure you don't wanna use an engine hoist??

[@novachannel1981]

Great video thanks

[@jessevaughn8265]

That is one fat cat lol. He is cute though

[@paulreade2195]

Hi, just about to try and remove my k6 engine, do you have any printed dimensions for your timber lift ???. Regards Paul

[@telabib]

Great idea.

[@joeking9933]

what happened ? motor would not run?

[@chill5465]

wheres 26 and i think the camera you use is fine.

[@jensaarnaes150]

Love the videos but hate the time between them ;-(

[@brucekirk89]

yah for Ms.Hackaweek lol

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Er... Sorry to point it out but the hot chick sorted this one out! ;)

[@boxerbriefs4792]

Hey Dean, I used your idea to pull and reinstall my 1975 CB750's engine. Worked great. Thanks a lot for the idea. I didn't take a video of it in action, but I have some pics in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHXPYYKJnN9_oLM - Matthew

[@andrewshutty3345]

the wife is always right! We hate that don't we men!! LOL

[@JagsNguyen]

Awesome!

[@luckydog9500]

It is painful to watch. To get the engine in. The oil filter housing must be off and that breather plate must be off of the top of the valve cover. Read the shop manual!!!

[@r.garret4875]

the points. mount to. the plate I need the plate points and all

[@ncroft1383]

Top work on getting the engine in! Was the "assistant" Mrs Hackaweek to be!?

[@DeanSegovis]

ncroft1383 She is now Mrs. Hackaweek!

[@arkangel13th]

Hacksaw-a-week :)

[@machinehead9583]

hola buenas tardes que posibilidad hay que me vendas un motor ajustado usted lo consigue y me lo ajusta y yo se lo pago,

[@tribulation138]

wish I had a cool wife like yours

[@EgGibby]

finally..

[@miguevilla1026]

Genial🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌

[@robertbrandywine]

So you and your wife were able to lift 225 pounds?

[@surfer_ann]

Yeah.......hahaha!

[@grahamhale8844]

You make life hard for yourself,planks of wood ect and 2 of you to fit engine ? ,sit engine on a chair next to bike at about the right height to fit then feed one end of a wratchet strap from the left hand side to engine other end to garage beam ect start tightening up on strap it will lift engine and at same time pull engine into place takes 5 mins

[@geraldhutchins1023]

mate the af

[@deepaktalan07]

Sir you need to buy a better camera..... It's time..

[@DeanSegovis]

Deepak Talan Won't make that much difference unless I spend a crap ton of money, and then the edit and render times will be longer, my CPU will be at it's limit again and I'll need a faster computer. I'm at a point right now where the 1080p video I work with can be handled with ease on my current machine, which I recently upgraded.
